Deodorant brand Power Stick has been withdrawn from stores due to identified production flaws
In a recent development, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for Power Stick deodorants manufactured by A.P. Deauville due to "deviations from current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)"[2][4][5]. However, the specific nature of the manufacturing defects has not been detailed in the FDA enforcement report or public recall notices as of July 2025[1][4][5].
The recall impacts over 67,000 cases of roll-on deodorants, distributed nationally via major retailers such as Walmart, Amazon, and Dollar Tree[1][3]. The affected products include Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant, and Power Stick for Her Roll-on Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh[1][3]. The recalled Power Stick deodorants have various UPC Codes and NDC numbers, as listed in the recall notice[1].
A.P. Deauville, the company responsible for the deodorants, is based in Easton, Pennsylvania. As of this writing, the company has not publicly disclosed further clarification on the exact defects, and the FDA did not provide additional details in the available public documents[4].
Consumers are advised to discontinue use of the affected products and contact the company for further instructions[2]. A request for comment from A.P. Deauville was not immediately responded to.
Aimee Picchi, the associate managing editor for MoneyWatch, has covered the business and personal finance aspects of this recall. She previously worked at Bloomberg News and has written for national news outlets including USA Today and Consumer Reports.

Furthermore, the impact of this recall on the company's finance and reputation within the industry should not be underestimated.
